DiNardo may have gotten a few guys but Saban showed that this is a massive program. How anyone is simping for DiNardo when Saban awoke this monster is insane.

Except- it isn't.

Saban with an elite talent pool is great.
Saban with no talent advantage is average.

The NFL guys drooled over his schemes, which are today outdated; he hasn't used them in almost a decade.

They were excited about his organization, but a good number of coaches have systems. There's a good argument Carroll's system might have been better- it worked in the NFL too. Urban had his own system, which worked and now Day is running it. Harbaugh has his, which also was more successful in the NFL; had Stanford(!) humming, and just won it all for Michigan. Kelly has his own, which is being implemented at LSU after fixing Notre Dame and building up Cincinnati.

Systems are great, but you need talent too.

Dinardo fixed the talent issue at LSU; he stopped the constant leakage of top guys to Fla State, Miami etc. If that hadn't happened, Saban (if he even came here) would have turned LSU into, basically, Iowa. Fundamentally sound, minimal mistakes, still gets overwhelmed when facing an elite team. Which is what happened to him at Michigan State, what happens to Ferentz at Iowa, etc.
